The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel written by American author
Ernest Hemingway about a group of American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the
Festival of San Fermín in
Pamplona to watch the
running of the bulls and the
bullfights. An early and enduring
modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that it is "recognized as Hemingway's greatest work", and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. The novel was published in the United States in October 1926 by the publishing house
Scribner's. A year later, the London publishing house
Jonathan Cape published the novel with the title of
Fiesta. Since then it has been continuously in print.
